This golden finger seems to be quite powerful, Hu Zining is so excited that he dances with his hands, and he can't wait to summon 12 army soldiers to come out and take a look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, so he first took out half a catty of rice with a spoon in the rice bowl, made rice first, and then took out some of the pickled roe deer meat and cooked it.
Although Hu Zining's family is not well-off, but his father has a good ability to hunt, and he has learned this skill, except for some people in the landlord's family, most of the tenants who rent land for cultivation are impossible to compare with him, because the landlord's rent is too high.
After the meal was ready, Hu Zining ate roe deer meat with relish, which at least had the advantage of eating a lot of natural game in this era. Unlike modern times, not only many wild animals cannot be eaten, even ordinary chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, cattle and sheep are artificially fed in captivity, if you want to eat a little natural meat, you have to find those farmers who raise chickens and ducks in the countryside to buy.
At night, the whole village was quiet and pitch black, and even the barking of dogs could not be heard.
Hu Zining couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, he kept summoning the 12 army soldiers with his mind, but he couldn't summon them because he didn't reach midnight.
When Hu Zining summoned for the eighth time, the 12 soldiers finally suddenly appeared.
Hu Zining immediately lit the candle, and the 12 soldiers saluted him in unison, and said in unison: "I have seen the master." ”
The leader is the squad leader, named Liao Dekai, the one on the left is the deputy squad leader, plus the other 10 people just happen to be a squad formation, and there is a military backpack behind each person.
One of the 12 men in this squad was equipped with a British Bren light machine gun, which was an improved version of the Czech light machine gun, equipped with a curved 30-round magazine with an effective range of about 800 meters; The other was armed with an American Thomson M1 test submachine gun with a magazine of 30 rounds and an effective range of 200 meters. The other 10 people, except for the chief and deputy squad leader, were equipped with Mauser pistols, and the others were equipped with M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles with an effective range of 730 meters.
Both the machine gunner and the submachine gunner had six magazine pouches around their waists, and the remaining 10 people had one bullet pouch around their waists. In addition to the main and deputy squad leaders, the remaining 10 people also have 4 wooden hands hanging on their waists. Grenade. Of the 12 men, a bayonet or dagger was stuck in the left side of his waist, and the squad leader had a pocket watch and a pen in his breast pocket.
The military backpack is mainly filled with a change of clothes, dry food, water bottles, etc.
This set of equipment is really too extravagant, I am afraid that only the American and German armies during World War II were capable of such extravagant equipment.
Liao Dekai, the squad leader, said: "Master, what do you command?" ”
Hu Zining said: "How about your military capabilities?" ”
Liao Dekai said: "Master, don't worry, the military ability of our entire squad of 12 people is no problem, each of us can carry a weight of 30 kilograms and run 20 kilometers cross-country, whether it is shooting, physical fitness, combat skills, firearms and weapons knowledge, cooperation with other troops, etc. ”
Hu Zining said: "Okay, there's nothing to do now, let's go to bed and rest first." ”
What to do tomorrow, Hu Zining already had a plan, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, as soon as everyone woke up, they heard a knock on the door.
Hu Zining asked 12 people to go into the house where his father was sleeping and hid, opened the door, and saw that it was Hu Xiaodie, she looked gloomy, and said, "Brother Zining, master, he ...... He wants to take me as his sixth concubine, take me out of here, and I will follow you wherever you go. ”
Fluttershy whispers and tears remain. She is so beautiful, anyone who has a little money or power, it is strange if she doesn't fight her idea, that landlord is naturally the first to get the moon near the water.
Hu Zining hugged Fluttershy and said, "Fluttershy, elope with me, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have no regrets?" ”
Fluttershy nods.
Hu Zining kissed her lips passionately in the 21st century kissing style. Fluttershy has already given her heart to Hu Zining, but she can't help but blush.
After more than ten minutes, Hu Zining's hot kiss stopped, looked at Fluttershy, and said, "Fluttershy, I will find a way to redeem you, if I can redeem you, I will go over and elope." ”
Fluttershy says, "Brother Zining, where did you get so much money to redeem me, let's go." ”
Hu Zining said, "Don't worry, Fluttershy, I'll definitely think of a way." ”
As for what the method is, Hu Zining already has it, and he can sell the squad leader's pocket watch and pen, anyway, every squad leader will have a pocket watch and a pen in the future.
After Fluttershy returns, Hu Zining buys 12 sets of men's clothes in the village, asks the 12 soldiers to change into them, and leaves the 6 soldiers at home, led by the deputy squad leader, and takes the squad leader Liao Dekai and the other 5 soldiers to the county seat of Yingjing County, where there is no pawnshop in the town and can only sell their arms and pens.
Of the six people who were on board, except for machine guns and submachine guns, as well as grenades, other weapons were carried on them.
The village of Hu Zining's family is called Maxi Village, which is nearly 20 kilometers away from the county seat, and if six soldiers were to run forward, it would take more than an hour to arrive. However, although Hu Zining was born in Orion and his physical strength was relatively good, he was only 14 years old, and he had not yet grown up, so where could the soldiers who could withstand these training procedures insist on running for five or six kilometers and could not run, so they could only go on foot, and finally arrived at the county seat of Hejiang County after about three hours.
In the late Qing Dynasty, a good quality pocket watch was worth a lot of money, it should be worth about 300 taels of silver, and the fountain pen could also be worth dozens of taels of silver.
During this period, many places were not very safe, many landlords or wealthy families had more than a dozen or even dozens of armed families, as long as the number of people was not too much, it was a normal thing, Hu Zining took six soldiers and walked in the county seat is not too suspicious.
When he came to the most famous pawnshop in Hejiang County, he said to the clerk: "Tell your shopkeeper to come out, there is something to do." ”
The clerk saw that these seven people were dressed very ordinarily, but they carried weapons that they had never seen before, and they were most afraid of offending two kinds of people during this period, the first was the rich and powerful; The second type is the people with strong armed forces, and the people with strong forces are even more difficult to deal with than the rich.
The clerk didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went in and called the shopkeeper out.
The shopkeeper came out, greeted him with a smile, and said, "This guest officer, I don't know your honorable name, what can I serve." ”
Hu Zining said: "There is no need to say what my name is, you look at how much this Swiss pocket watch and this fountain pen are worth, I want to die, you give a price." ”
As he spoke, he put a pen and a Swiss pocket watch on the table.
The shopkeeper picked up the pocket watch, his eyes immediately lit up, he carefully examined the pocket watch and pen, showed a slightly embarrassed expression, and said: "This is indeed a pocket watch made in Switzerland, but ......,......,......., pocket watch and pen combined, you will be given a maximum of one hundred taels of silver, which is already the best price." ”
The shopkeeper deliberately picked on some problems and kept the price down.
Hu Zining said: "You and I don't know the goods, the market price of this good pocket watch can be sold for at least three hundred taels of silver, this fountain pen can be sold for at least fifty taels, adding up to two hundred and fifty taels, if you are willing to be, you can also earn at least one hundred taels, if not, I will find other pawnshops." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his pocket watch and pen and was about to leave.
The shopkeeper immediately said: "Don't go, two hundred taels at most, so I will not be profitable." ”
Hu Zining stopped when he spoke, and when he spoke, he continued to walk out. The shopkeeper immediately chased after him, and said with a sad face: "Guest officer, 250 taels is 250 taels, I will lose some money, and I should make friends with you, the hero." ”
Except for pocket watches and pens, the others are ammunition and weapons, and it is impossible to sell them, and now there is not much money, Hu Zining spent 10 taels of silver to buy a donkey, and rode the donkey back with six soldiers.
